I had the smoked eel and takoyaki appetizers with the char siu ramen. The takoyaki was great and the octopus wasn't at all tough, which is the case at a lot of places. The ramen was nicely seasoned and perfectly complemented by the pork belly. The eel was good, but not amazing. But I'm also extra picky when it comes to eel. This is a fun, lively place on the weekends and the atmosphere is great. Food is better at Kazu but the ambiance is more fun here.
